Hi people, A quick reminder / prod about lightning talks. We still have a few sessions left. I remember after last month speaking to a few people who had some great talk ideas.
Here is what Tekin said about it a few weeks ago (he said it better than I could): Next month at NWRUG we’re doing lightning talks! That means you, our > faithful members have an opportunity to give a short talk, no more than 10 > minutes (note: they can be way shorter) on a subject of your choosing. > We’re looking for up to 8 talks in total. *Giving a lightning talk at NWRUG* > Giving a lightning talk is a great way to try your hand at public > speaking, and we encourage and support first time speakers. Lightning talks > don’t have to be super-polished, or anything ground-breaking or > world-changing. It could simply be about something interesting or > surprising you’ve learnt recently. Perhaps you’ve been working with a new > feature in Rails, or a particular gem, or you’ve been trying a new > technique/pattern and have some learnings you can share.

I went to a product conference last Friday and the best talks that I saw weren't even about products or product management.
